Tesla: New prices also for Switzerland
Tesla is once again lowering its prices in numerous European markets. In Switzerland, this affects all variants of the Model 3, Model Y Performance and Model Y with rear-wheel drive, as well as the Model S and X derivatives.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk held out the prospect of cheaper electric cars a few weeks ago. The costs for future vehicle generations should drop by half. Now the US company is announcing lower prices for Swiss buyers. The price reductions are between 3000 and 10 000 francs, depending on the model. According to Tesla, the reason for the price reduction is improvements in the design and manufacturing processes.
According to the communiqué from the company's headquarters in Austin, Texas: "Our mission at Tesla is to accelerate the transition to sustainable energy. The transformation from high-cost, low-volume products to lower-cost, mass-produced vehicles is now complete."
Sales problems in China
At the beginning of the year, Tesla lowered its prices in the important Chinese market for the second time within a few months due to sales problems. In the country, the company is facing increasingly strong domestic competition from providers such as BYD, Xpeng and Nio. Nevertheless, Tesla is the only foreign manufacturer to make it into the ranking of the ten best-selling electric cars in China.
